You have friends coming up from down south?
Bring them!
I have a friend who's lived in Vermont all his life. (
not yet!

) I was sending him and email, talking about what was happening, up here, as pond skimming was coming up. He came up and had a great time. He didn't ski, but loved the ambiance, and the whole scene.
Even if your friends don't ride, maybe they'd like to check out the scene? Just a thought...
